In this “an electrifying historical thriller that is sure to become a classic” (The Real Book Spy) the long-anticipated origin story of legendary Marine, fan favorite, and father of literary icon Bob Lee takes us to the battlefields of World War II as Earl Swagger embarks on a top secret and deadly mission.

July, 1944: The lush, rolling hills of Normandy are dotted with a new feature—German snipers. From their vantage points, they pick off hundreds of Allied soldiers every day, bringing the D-Day invasion to its knees. It’s clear that someone is tipping off these snipers with the locations of American GIs, but who? And how?

General Eisenhower demands his intelligence service to find the best shot in the Allied military to counter this deadly SS operation. Enter Pacific hero Earl Swagger, assigned this crucial and bloody mission. With crosshairs on his back, Swagger can’t trust anyone as he infiltrates the shadowy corners of London and France for answers.

“A tour de force of a war novel” (Booklist, starred review), The Bullet Garden is the ultimate read for new and longtime fans of Stephen Hunter. Historical Political Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Espionage Military Fiction Dwight Eisenhower Sniper War

I'm a huge Stephen Hunter fan so this review hurts me to write.
this is 5000 words worth of content stretched, beaten, coaxed and cajoled into 30,000 words (not exact) of superfluous over descriptive trite. 10 words to describe the same thing, trying to give plain old honest Earl an air of sophistication totally moving away from the brilliant simplicity and get it done blood and guts that we know and love about Earl.
and don't get me started on the abysmal reading.
sorry Mr Hunter

this ain't Earl
